Judge Foster tiled Thursday Ms conclusions iu tiie matter of applica tion of the distribution of the rstato of Anna R. Dixon, late of Ocean Grove. Mrs. Dixon died about two years agoaud by the terms of her wilt she devised various sums of money to ten legatees together with a residue to the Womans' Foreign Missionary society and the Home Missionary so ciety of St. Paul church. Ocean Grove. The contention was that Mrs. Mary L. Duncan, of Oceau Grove, repre sented by Thomas P. Fay, of Long Branch, was entitled under the six clause ot the will to ali the personal estate of Mrs. Dixon except the mon ey. and as the estate consisted wholly of bonds, mortgages and stocks, the various other legatees resisted her ciaim.

Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated LiteraryPress. Lisabeth climbed into the runabout and sent Meg down the road at a cap ping pace. There was a certain like ness betwixt the girl and the mare. Both showed biood; both were hand some in unusual fashion. Lisabeth was a Spanish biond, and her face was vivid as an autumn Hower. Thus Meg's copper red coat and flaxen mane i and tali brought her beautifuiiy into the picture. "I don't see why mammy and the coionei never wili puii together," Lisa beth compiained to Meg when they were safe in the big road. Meg was her only confidant, her nearest com rade. "If only they ever did agree I might give up to them," Lisabeth went on plaintively. "Since they won't I have to stand up for my own way. They'd hate each other forever if they thought i was partiai." The big road swept in a long curve haifway round the piantation. Lisa beth caught giimpses of the white house, with taii red chimneys, nestling among the trees, aii aiong throughout the first mile. Several times she smiied at the house; once she shook her Cst, saying, with a frown: "Oh, you iook good, but but you're just the same as a prison! I can't do anything I want to do, be tress of Willow Waud. But that isn't the very worst—I must marry some body dt to be master there—if ever they Snd such a paragon. I won't do it! I won't! I won't! I'ii run away with a drummer man or even a gypsy —if I like him." Lisabeth was nineteen, vital to her anger tips, an oniy child and, truth to say, rather badly spoiled. "They agbt so, Meg," Lisabeth ran, on, more than ever plaintive—"my mammy and the colonel. He gets up first. By breakfast time he has thought of a brand new reason why I ought to marry that Kinross thing." (Type can never express the curl here of Lisa beth's lips.) "And he ares it at mam my as she gives him his coffee—and spoils her appetite always—and makes her cry sometimes. But she gets even, j Long before dinner's ready she's ready I with something good -and better in Hump Dillard. Oh, Lord! Fancy liv ing with a body taamed Hump! 1 hear myself saying, 'Humpy, dear,' or 'My Humpy sugar lump^ 1 haye uty opin ion of folifs who would go and name a boy child Humphreys—don't care if the name has been in the family forty thousand years." She fell silent a little while. The road ran on down Leet's hill, which was more than half a mass of clay bedded round bowlders. One could drive over It safe enough if only one knew how; also if one's horse were clear footed and true pulling. Evidently a passenger had essayed coming up it who lacked all those things. Halfway down the hill upon a small gravelly bench there was an overturned buggy with a man half sit ting, half lying beside it, casting rue ful glances alternately at the vehicle and the horse, whose head barely showed above the depths of a roadside gully. me norse wmcacreo appeatmgty to Meg, who answered with the least faint whinny. Usabeth stopped oppo site the stranger, ieaned a iittie to ward him, saying in her father's most judiciai tone: "Urn! Can't you pick yourseif up after your spin?" "Certainty I can. I'm doing this ail for a iark, of course!" the stranger re torted, pointing to his forehead, bieeding from a iong gash, then on to a foot lying heipiess in front of him. A smallish brass bound trunk a iittie beyond expiained his piight. In the spin it had somehow fatten upon his ankie, breaking a bone. It was a sampie trunk, Lisabeth decided in stantiy. Therefore the stranger was a drummer. It served him right for trying to go cross country without a driver and with oniy a singie horse, but that was no more than a deeting thought. She was giggting so inside as she thought what the coionei wouid say to him. The coionei hated the whoie race of drummers, aibeit he admitted they had their uses. Notwithstanding he, drummer. Lisabeth chuckled iniy as she got out and approached him, say ing: "I'm reai sorry you're hurt. At first I thought you were oniy"— "Drunk," the stranger suppiemented as she passed, coloring deeply. She nodded. "But I'i! spare you apologies. Instead I'm going to take you home with me," she said. "Sure I'ii go?" the stranger asked. Lisabeth gave him a severe giance as she answered: "You needn't uniess you want to. Just teii me who you are, who'you travel for and where you're going, and I can send word to them right away. The Higieys down yonder," pointing down the hiii, "have two teiephones." "Thank you, but I'd rather go with you. My name is Maciise. As for the rest, it doesn't matter," the stran ger said, trying to rise and faliing back, white to the lips. Lisabeth caught his arm, saying severeiy: "Be stiii, you. white I haltoo up Babe and Biiiy—the Iligiey boys, you know —to make a bee saddie and tote you to my runabout and take care of your piunder." "I see," Maciise said, his eyes danc ing in spite of his pain. "Don't you i

think yon'd better iet me go hom with them? i aiways did iike to ri on a bee saddle." "But you never tried it ieg—at least i reckon not, retorted. "Anyway, you can't Ma Higiey's. 1 found you in and finding is keeping." "Cieariy there's no more to be Maciise answered, shutting his on a groan.

Then he had falien victim to the charm of a porsonaiity stngui trly frank and winning. As for man my, she had succumbed instantiy. Idsabeth was not permitted to do more than say "Good mom ng" through the door so iong as Ma< Use kept his room, but when he came di wn to sit on the piaz^t or hobbie up md down the garden she foiiowed him ike a fascinated chiid. He had such tales to tei! her. Ivi dentiy he had been all over the world. He was thirty; not handsome, but v -el! made and supremely weil bred in smite of his vocation. The Mertons e <ch and several deplored the vocation tacitly. He had not fretted in the least otter his accident. Instead, after sending oK a couple of brief letters, he had said: "Now everything is axed. I have oniy to enjoy myseif getting well.1 Ali his soticitude had been for the brass bound trunk. He had beside it a suit case cramfui of proper clothes. Moreover, his wallet was so fat, his fees and tips so generous, it was clear he had no anxiety about money.

After seeing the Kinross thing and the iong descended Hump Diiiatd his judgment veered sitameiessiy to Lisabeth's side. "But you need a man of your own to tight for," he explained to her ju diciaiiy, "somebody—anybody airnost —to oppose to these two. You insist that you can do better than take ei ther. You've got to show mammy and the coionei, even if they don't come from Missouri. Don't you know any body you couid idealize into a hero?" Lisabeth shook her head, murmur ing: "I don't know him, but I know of him. It's so aggravating he won't come home. I wonder if you ever met him—M-M-Murray. He's been giobe trotting ever since he ieft coticgo. I made up my mind to marry him—no body eise—two years ago, when I went nii over his house, not because it's so hue, but for the name—Goodheart. I iove that. And I'm sure I'd iove him too. But how can I when he keyps nway aii the time?" _' "It might be harder still if* you fit.—* 1 him. No, I've never met him, btf" I've heard a iot about him—not tmicif i' to his good," Maciise said, scowiing oddiy. "If he's the oniy rivai you can scare up I see nothing for it but to propose mysoif. You found me, you know, and said finding was keeping." "And I meant It—right then," Lisa beth said joyousiy. "Even if you are a drummer I beiieve it wiii be groat funtogoaiongwithyou. I might even drum for things rnyseif." "That's a bargain," Maciise said, hoiding her tight, but not kissing her. "I'm afraid, though, you won't stick to it when you know I'm a rank, rank impostor—not a bit of a drummer. You don't even know my right name." "I don't care—I know you," Lisabeth cried, ciinging cioser. Then he kissed her twice, saying, with the ieast shake in his voice: "Thank God! Sweetheart, I never before was so. proud of rnyseif. But the name is a pretty decent one. I'm asking you formaiiy to be Mrs. Marmaduke Ma ciise Murray. I was going home with my famiiy papers in that trunk when it iamed me and gave me something very much moreprecious. Now, what do you think mammy and the coionei wiii say?" "It doesn't matter. Isay'Yes,'"Lis abeth whispered. "Stiii, I beiieve they won't make much fuss about it." Vocation and Avocation. The word "vocation" is derived from the Latin voco, I caii; vocatus, calling. "Avocation" is derived from avoco, 1 cali away or divert; avocatus, caiiing away or diverting. A man's caiiing or vocation is that for which he has pre pared himseif, for which he is iitted or for which he has received a caii, as we Bay especiaiiy in regard to a reiigious vocation. But when a man is caiied away—avocatus—from his regular em pioyment and engages in a diversion or recreation of any kind the word avo cation applies to such diversion or caii ing away. The recreation may he of a very serious nature, as some profound study or arduous work, but it is not his vocation. 3?he schoolboy has no voca tion. He is fitting himseif for one. But he may have many avocations. Giadstone's vocation was statesman ship; among his avocations were the study of the ciassics, making transi tions and sometimes chopping down trees —London M. A. I*.

THE RULE OF THREE. A Superstition of the Men Who Buiid the Skyscrapers. These atry crews are a generous crowd. says iirnest i'ooie, writing in Hvery body's Magazine of men who work on skyscrapers. They earn high pay. When working fuli time they make.$-7 a week, and, iike their rough brothers out on the piains, they are <]Uick to give of their earnings. On Saturday afternoons when they iine tip at the pay window the Sisters of Charity are aiways there, and quarters and dimes jingie nterriiy into their iit tte tit) boxes. Betiind this generous giving is a su perstitious beiief that amid risks iike these it is weii to propitiate fate aii you can. for fate is a reientiess oid machine, and when once its wheeis be gin grinding no power on earth can stop them. The "ruie of three" is cen turies oid. You may hear of it out on the ocean, in the steei miits, in the raiiroad camps and down in the mines. And you find it up here on the jobs in the skies. y "Behove it?" said an oid foreman. "You bet they beiteve it." "Do you?" I asked. "Weii," he said, "aii I can say is this: It may be a speii or it may be because the way of the whoie crew is expecting it. put. anyhow, when two accidents come ciosc together you can be sure that the third ain't very far off." BUY!NG CHA!RS BY StGHT. Few Foiks Ever Think to Try Them by Sitting tn Them. "I went with some foiks the other day." the man said, "to buy a coupie of chairs. We went to a furniture store and iooked over what they had to offer. "There were just ordinary chairs for a bedroom, so that it wasn't a very momentous purchase. The foiks I was with iooked at the cioth on the chairs and asked questions about the wood and how the chairs wouid wear. Then they bought the chairs and or dered them sent home. "What struck me as peculiar about the transaction was that never once did either of the two persons with whom I was think of sitting down in the chairs to see whether or not they were comfortable. I dropped into a furniture store not long afterward and asked a saiesman about it. and i wasn't surprised to iearn that very few persons buying chairs ever seem to think about testing them by sitting in them.

A Latter That Aroused King Christian of Denmark. King Christian of Denmark once found in his morning maii a letter which moved him more than did most matters of state. The tetter was in a boyish acrawi and read as foiiows: Dear King—We are four boys at Flak kebjerb school, and the master whips us daily with a piece of steel rope he found in the harbor. If he doesn't stop there will be a tire. The name of the teacher being given, the king ordered him to report at once to the minister of justice, white he took the next train for Fiakkebjerb and examined the ciass in the teacher's absence. The children, unawed by the presence of the cruei teacher, toid their grievance to the kindiy oid king, who promised immediate reiief, ciosed the schoot for the day and ordered that the boys be treated to chocoiate and cakes at his expense "to remember him by." But he did more than that. On re turning to Copenhagen he dismissed the cruei teacher without pension, at the same time giving a genera] warn ing to aii teachers to be chary of cor pora! punishment. "If boys cannot be trained without cruei beatings," this wise king said, "then there must be something the matter with those who train them. The coming generation must not be made means by rutBaniy teachers." Isle of Wight. The Ia!e of Wight inhabitants are not aione in speaking of "going to England" when they leave their own fragment ol^he kingdom. A patriotic Comishman aiso "goes to England" when he crosses the Tamar. Simiiar iy inhabitants of the Baikan peninsuia talk of "going to Europe" when they leave their own comer of the conti nent—in cnrlous contrast with the peo ple of our own island. We regard our selves as both of and in "Europe," and accordingly it is only "the continent" that we visit. The record in the splendid isolation line is probably held by that minister of the Cumbraes, in the Clyde, who prayed for a blessing upon "the inhabitants of Great and Little Cumbrae and the adjacent is lands of Great Britain and Ireland."— London Graphic. The Tower of Famine. The Torre della Fame, or Tower of Famine, was noted for its grewsome history. It once stood in Pisa. Italy, but there are now no traces of it Count Ugolino deila Gherardscha, whom Dante immortalized, was the head of the Guelphs. and because of his tyranny and accredited attempts to piace his country in bondage he was antagonized and Bnaily conquered by the chief of the Ghibellines. who imprisoned him. with his two sons and two grandsons, in this tower, the slow method of starvation being employed as the manner of their death. The door of the tower was locked and the j keys thrown into the Arno. The Hot/ City. Medina, the hoiy city, triumphed iong ago over aii the rivais in various parts of the worid which bore the same name, which means simpiy ''city." Notabie among them were the oid cap itai of Maita and Medina Sidonia in Spain. The Arabian city was originai iy known as Yathrib. but owes its iater name.

Copyrighted, IMS. by Associated LiteraryPress. A mere toddler of a boy stood on the bank above the railroad track. In his hand was a stone. Aiming biindiy, he tossed the stone upon the track, and it snnggied against the gieamlng raii. In less than forty-eight hours that stone, tossed by a baby hand, had thrown Wait street and the money market of the country Into a panic. The single track of the iittle western road afforded rough traveiing. Not many of the travelers aboard that par ticular train even noticed the somewhat harder joit when the car wheel struck the stone. But Gilbert Fairbain, smoking a "good night" cigar as he leaned alone against the raiiing of the observation car's platform, feit the jar—and then felt nothing more. And it was two weeks before Wall street learned that Fairbain, the one man who could have stopped the panic, had been found beside the tracks and removed to a farmhouse on the quarter section nearest the road. For ten days he had been uncon scious, and for two days or more he had been in no condition to be left alone. There was but one inmate of that farmhouse besides himself, and she had been too busy nursing him to make the trip to the nearest town to report that he had been found. As soon as his whereabouts had been discovered the lonesome little town was overrun with people. Grave and learn ed physicians from the east were hur ried westward on special trains and a regiment of nurses attended them, but Fairbain waved them all away. "1 don't need you," he said irritably. "Little Mrs. Bodington pulled me through without a lot of palaver or thousand dollar doctors to help her. Leave a couple of nurses to wait on her, and the rest of you go away." "There is an excellent hospital not 6fty miles from here," suggested the family physician. "I can look after you with better assurance of success ful treatment." "Sugden, you re an ass, ueciareu Falrbaln irritably. "This iittie woman nursed me singie handed through an attack of brain fever. I guess she can attend to the convalescence." "I wiii not undertake to be respon sible for the consequences," said Sug den, with ponderous emphasis. "You don't have to be," was the acrid response. "You are going to be packed out of here, the whole lot of you. I've spent most of my life with a doctor on one side of me and a lawyer on fhlT other. I'm sick of it all, and I'm en titled to a rest." He looked contentedly about the tiny room. The outlook from the narrow paned windows was dreary, and the room itself was walled with rough plaster and decorated with cheap prints In homemade frames. The bed on which he rested was a wooden affair with a cotton mattress and coarse cotton sheets, but the sheets were Immaculately clean, and there was an air of hominess about the place that Falrbaln had not known in years. He closed his eyes contentedly and dozed off. Sugden, mindful of his fat fees, waited in deferential silence dur ing the half hour the nap lasted. Fairbaln's glance fell drat on him as his eyes opened again. "You still here!" he cried. "Sugden, if you don't take the first train back to New York I'll make you sue for whatever I owe you and I'll take it on appeal and appeal until you spend every cent you ever made off of me. Now get out of here." Sugden took his departure, vowing that his patient was insane, but Fair bain only smiled contentedly and turned to the sweet faced woman who sat beside the bed. "That's the way to talk to those sharks," he declared. "I have a head ache, and Sugden gives me something to make it worse. Then he doctors me for the new 'disease' and sends in a bili a yard iong. This is the time I footed him." "I am glad that yon were not moved," said the woman softiy. "I think that the excitement would have been bad for yon." "It is not the trip I was dreading," admitted Fairbain frankly. "1 like It here, and I want to stay a little while. My secretary will stay over in town and bring my important mail every day, and the two nurses will relieve yon of the watchful nights. "If you want anything else, buy it or hire it or something. Wilson wl!) give you what money I need. Wilson is a Hne fellow," he added. "He came into my ofHce this fall as a clerk, and I took a fancy to him and made him my confidential man. He took to the job as though he had known me and my affairs since he was born." "It must be very nice to have some one to do your work the way you want it done," she said softly. "1 am giad that you are so pieased with him." "I'm pleased with him," said Fair bain meaningiy, "so long as you are not too well pleased with him. You won't be pieased with him?" he plead ed. "No more than I am now," she prom ised, and with that Fairbain was con tent He was convinced that money was omnipotent and that even here on the prairie it couid purchase the love of the little woman who had made him so comfortabie. Fairbain was in love with his newly found home comforts rather than with the woman herseif, but this he did not know, although, when there was no ionger any pretext for prolonging the stay, he spoke braveiy enough. "ineedyou very much," he said ear nestiy. "i have a house that covers haif a square in the most expensive residential district in New York. I have three yachts, something iike a dozen automobiies and aii that sort of thing, but I have no home. ^Not since i was a boy have I reaiized what home was iike. My wife was no home maker, and when she died I never dared repeat the experiment with the women in the set I lived in. You are different. For years I have been hun gry. Don't you think that you can come and make it for me?" The iittie woman paused for a mo ment aud scanned the face of the muitimiiiionaire as earnestiy as though she had not devoted weeks in that pur suit. There was no ardent affection in tone or iook. Fairbain discussed the matter with as much feeiing as though he was discussing the making of some raiiroad deai with his feiiow magnates. He was widower in need of a homemaker. The giri—she was iittie more than that—nodded her head in an affirma tive. "I'ii make the home for yon, but not as your wife. I am not a widow, yon see!" "I am married," continued the gtri hnrriediy. "I married when I was on the stage. I married a boy who never had had a home, and I made one for him—out here where nothing matters. He was home hungry. I knew that I wouid spoii aii his chances if I mar ried him. I niso knew that he wouid spoii his own chances if I didn't, so I married him. "After our boy was bom—that was the second year we were here—he went back east and took a name that was neither his nor mine to show ids father that he was abie to work for the woman he loved* I am married to your son, Mr. Fairbain. i gupss you've forgotten that Gregory married Martha Bodlngton. From what Gregory toid me. you cailed me everything but my right name at. that iast interview." 'Terhaps i did," was the shamefaced repiy. "t guess I did not know what i was saying, and i'm certain that I didn't know the sort of a giri was talking about." "We'ii forget that now," offered Martha. "Let the past be forgotten for the sake of the boy." "But Gregory?" asked Fairbain. "There," Mnrthn pointed out over the prairie, where the secretary was to be seen riding across the section with the mail. "And Wiison is Gregory? You mean t hired him?" asked Fairt<ain. with a chuckie. "To think that nii the time he has been here I've been fretting because! feared that yon might iearn to love him. And ail that time you rwer vmamtied t\nrathec-giadj my dear, that I made my second marl riage by proxy, so iong ns you wiil* make a home for Greg and the boy and me." "I was so afraid that you would rec ognize Greg," said Martha as she re garded the taii figure of the secretary with a took of frank admiration. "He assumed an exceilent disguise." reminded Fairiiain. "I never thought to tind my son a worker, my dear. That's another tiling i have to thank you for," and Fairhain sighed with reiief. He had found a home white retaining his domestic independence, and the son for whom his heart cried out was restored to him again. Changes in Boston. In 163G one of the suburbs of Bos ton was Newe Towne, which in 1638 was changed to Cambridge and as the seat of Harvard university has an in ternationai reputation today. Since the eariy iincs were fixed Cambridge obtained by annexation a part of Chariestown, but has ceded iand to the towns of Waitham, Brighton, Wa tertown, Belmont and West Cam bridge, the latter now known as Ar ttngton. The Boston of 1630, called TriMoun tain, was very different from the Bos ton of today. Its area was not exten sive, aithough it included the larger portion of Quincy, out of which the town of Braintree was made at a later period. The first annexations to Bos ton were Noddies island (East Boston) and the territory now covered by Chel sea. In 1640 Boston iost Its rights In Quin cy. which were acquired by the town of Braintree. Subsequent additions to Boston have been Roxbury, Dorches ter. West Roxbury, Brighton, Charles town and a part of Brookline. As an independent municipality Charlestown, which was settled as early as Boston, gave birth to Somer ville, Woburn, Malden. Stoneham and Mulford and furnished iand to Cam bridge.—Boston Post. 1 Value of the Architect. The members of a country ciub, the j building and decoration of whose club house had been piaced entirety in the hands of the architect, even to the mi nutest furnishings, fonnd themselves In need of new window shades a ad a few other small household necessities. Instead of buying the things them selves, they sent for the architect to come out and iook things over and order appropriate fittings. "That is not at all an unusual casA" said the architect. "I can show you houses that I pianned more than twent ty-flve years ago that have never beenV furnished with so much as a new chair without my being consulted 6rst Having deferred entirely to my judg ment in the Brut piace, those confiding patrons are afraid to trust their own taste in the smailest matter, and they will probably continue to ask my ad vice in every little detail of decoration as iong as they occupy the house."— New York Globe.

An Election Dey et Charlottesville, At Charlottesville, Va., the seat of Albemarle county, according to Miss Mary Johnston's chronlcie of "Lewis Rand," they were voting for a mem ber of the house of delegates. It was the fourth Wednesday in April. The year was 1804. "Under the locust trees to the right of the open gate were placed long ta bles and on them three mighty punch bowls, Hanked by drinking cups and guarded by house servants of venera ble appearance and stately manners. Here good Federalists refreshed them selves. To the left of the gate, upon the trampled grass beneath a mulber ry, appeared other punch bowls and in addition a barrel of whisky ready broached for all good Democrat-Re publicans. The sunny street was HHed with horses, vehicles and servants: the broad path between the trees, the turf on either hand and the courthouse steps were crowded with riotous vot-1 ranks of society, all ages, oc and opinions, met In the gen father beneath the trees, where HR every bird of spring." Within the courthouse the sheriff presided. Conspicuous sat the two can didates. There were no ballots, but each voter made known his choice by living voice: "I vote, sir," cried the colonel, "for Mr. Ludwel!

He sat np and sur veyed the red covered cart drawn by a very piump pony hat had stopped by the side ot the road. A girl in a smart costume of tan covert climbed down from the front seat and ied the pony out of the shafts, tied him with a long tether so that he might crop the juicy sod and then, returning once more to the cart, heiped a somewhat fragile but smiling lady to descend. "Weli, of all things!" said Christo pher helplessly. But words failed him as he watched the further proceedings of the girl in tan. From the depths of the cart she brought forth a little folding table, which she proceeded to set up in a place screened from the gaze of pass ing folk by a hedge of wild honey suckle. On the table the girl set a shining copper kettle, two cups, two plates, a small teapot and various tin boxes and little glass jars, whose gay labels pro ciaimed toe denctousness witmn. "It's a picnic," the yonng man de cided, and as the aider iady iighted the aicohoi Hame and It burned beneath the copper kettie Christopher sighed.

I feit that I must offer y on the hospttaii ty of the mountain road—the keys of our city, as it were." The giri gave him a guick giance. noting the strength of tbe taii 8gure and his air of good breeding.

"You iive"— Words faiied the young man as he iopked at the two gracefui women, each with the inde finable sontething that proclaims the sheitered woman. It seemed incredibie that they shouid trust themselves aione in the mountain wiids with their pony and their fra it little cart. But the daughter was explaining smiiingiy. "We iost everything," she said, "in the panic iast faii. And mother's heaith faiied at the same time.

There was aiways an owi to boot or a dog to howi or a frog to croak, but after we got used to* it we siept like babies Kent shook his head. "There's a pretty tough ciass among the miners up here. It's different lower down, where you come in touch oniy with ag rieuiturai communities. But some of these men are very ignorant and very rough." "Piease," the gir! cautioned, "please don't teli u about them. We want to reach the )p of the mountain, and I am not a bit afraid." She was making the omeiet as she tatked, turning it expertiy with a thin knife and taking it up when it was pudfy and brown. "It is a food lit for the gods," Kent commented when she had served it with the saiad and cream cheese and crackers.

Calls Two Editors Conspicuous Offenders In Lying. Hot Springs. Va., Dec. 9.—President Roosevelt wrote an indignant letter to WiHknn Dudley Fradke in reply to the latter's note complaining of false pub lished reports in the Halianapolis News as to corrupt practices in the purchase of the Panama canal. Pres ident Roosevelt said: ihe News gives currency tothecharges that "the United Staten bought from American citizens for HO.OMI.UOU property that cost these citizens oniy $12,000,000." The statetnent is faise. The United States did not pay a cent of the $10,000,000 to any Americatt citizen. Tite News says that there is do doubt that the govern ment paid M0.000.000 for tite protterty and continues: "But wito got the money? We are not to know. The administration and Mr. Taft do not think it right that the peopie should know. Reaiiythisissoiudicrousastomake one feet a itttie impatient at having to answer it. Tite fact has been ofHciaiiy published again and again that the gov ernment paid $40,000,000 and that it paid this Mo.000.mt) direct to the French gov ernment, getting the receipt of tite iigui dator appointed by the French govern ment to receive tite same. The United t States government has not the siightest knowledge as to the particuiar individ- i uais among whom the French govern- ment distributed the sum. This was the i business of tite French government. The mere supposition that any American re ceived from the French government a "rake off" is too absurd to be diacussed. It is an abominable faisehcod. and it ie a slander not against the American gov ernment, but aguinst the French gov ernment. The News continues, saying that "tite president's brother in-law is invotved in the scanda), but he has noth ing to say.' The president's brothet-ln iaw was involved in no scandal Deiavan Smith and the other peopie who repeated title falsehood tied about tite president's (trother-ta-Spy, Saa why tite fact that Mr Smhnneu4.;-Kyuitioeheidtomvo<veiM: Robinson ina"scand:d"isdiftlcuittc^ understand.

He occupies, for instance, the same evil emi nence with such men as Mr. Laffan of the New York Sun, editorials of whose paper you or others have from time to time caiied to my attention, just as you have caiied to my attention these edi torial of the Indianapolis News. The fact is that these particular news papers habituaiiy and continually and as a matter of business practice every form of mendacity known to man. from the suppression of the truth and the sugges tion of the faise to the lie direct. Those who write or procure others to write these articles are engaged in the practice of mendacity for hire, and surely there can be no tower form of gaining a iiveii TAFT URGES SOUTH TO VOTE W!TH NORTH Says He Prays He May Oblit erate Sectieeal Uees.

Mr. Taft in the course of an address j urged that the voters of the south shoutd break away from the outiived sentiment and traditions of their past poiiticai ntHiiations and cast their bai iots in accy 'dance rather wit]) their economic and rent* political heHcfs.

($RRE3F0HPEtKE, T PEADTY FETCMNG FURS FOR FA)R FACES H^^^URS and the woman" might be a better title for this article V on the wise selection of cold defying accessories for women, be cause so few women choose furs with discretion and good taste. The design of the garment must fit the height and weight of the woman, the color must harmonize with her complexion, hair and eyes, an dthe texture of the fur, the length of hair, must soften lines and angles, not emphasize physical de fects. To begin withi no matter what Dame Fashion's dictates, bear in mind that your face as framed by the furs, and your figure as draped by them, are more important than any other aspect of fur-wearing Buy furs that will pro^e a fetching frame to the face, and fur garments that will give height and grace to the figure, not detract there from. Ermine fur is essentially the dressy skin, and is not for the girl or woman who can afford but one set. Never buy ermine until you have supplied your self with furs for wear with your tailored suits. Ermine must be com bined with siik, velvet or a dressy satin-finished cloth costume. Chinchilla is one of the most trying j of skins. It demands an almost per- feet complexion, or exquisite coloring and is calculated to show up physical defectB mercilessly. Raccoon and other rough, shaggy furs are for the outdoor girl exclu sively. the athletic girl, the fair mo torist Sealskin, like sable, is the fur of the well-to-do. Both of these skins have advanced tremendously in price, but they are always the best of invest ments. Sealskin is in greater vogue today than it has been in five or six yaars. Fox fur of all sorts is in demand. including bmck, blue, brown and white Wild fox lJ the drees fur for young girls of slegder build, blue fox ie apt to fade out^a yellowish grey and de ing. The natural toned are the best investment, ta, for the fat purse, seal [Next come pony skin and for the medium length mand re-dy brown skin^ In long co skin leads, caracul, anq jackets, sem)] ntted or in Empire, Di rectolre an there is not Marten is coats or nth lars and cuffi Marten an in the small] mink is a! most fetchini shaped or skins are se with a hea tails and paj other up-to-date cutB, ,ng better than dark mink, uch used for trimming fur, particularly for col black fox seem to lead r fur pieces, but dark ays dependable and is in the new envelope muifs. In these, the together in full lengths and paws at one end, at the other. For rh^/long boa and very large muff, rug or envelope shaped, the tall woman ^ooses^either fox or lynx. Both the tali woman and the very small, girlish person can wear the very large furs with long hair, the boas that alm( st touch the ground, the muffs that ma te you think of revolu tionary day pi rtraits. The short, girl ish figure can also be set off by very small fur piec s. like fur cravats, tip pets, etc. Bu1 the woman of medium height must a^ )id the long-haired furs and the mass! e boa and muff effects, as she will !o: some height, yet lack the petite air f her tiny sister who is at once demu i and kittenish in big furs. The stout n oman must avoid all cape effects in long-haired fur so be coming to her ali. slender girl friend. For her there i nothing better than a neck piece of narrow, with medium length, rather group of small heads and saucy pawi' failing forward over her right shoulder, And the longer ends with tails and pawa falling back ward over her left ahoulder. The fusay fur and lace muffa and neck piecea which enjoyed auch a vogue laat aeaaon seem to have dls appeared. and with them, let ua hope, the cuatom of fastening ur^lficla! vio leta or American beauty roaes to muffa. For outlining dreasy muffs and neck piecea. there ia a fine edging of match ing satin, pleated or quilled, and for some of the re modeled coata tn Di rectolre. Empire or other fusay designs, embroidered bandings of very rich col orings and much gold are used, elao very ornate buttons. Theae coata are for the women who can have many fur garments not the one who will choose a single warm coat or two fur aeta at the most. One fancy set noted in an exclusive shop was a combination of ermine fur and smoke-colored marlbout in alter nate strips, a very dress muff and stole, but the plainer designs, especially In neck pieces and muffs, seem to prevail. A feature of the season is the gen eral use of heads, tails and paws. Very few absolutely plain muffs or stoles are shown. Almost all are fin ished with quantities of the wee heads and paws, and very pretty they are. too. The new envelope muff Is pointed, something like an exaggerated envel ope flap. The rug muff opens out flat In the form of a long, narrow oblong, Is lined with shirred satin, and is pro^ vided with a satin pocket, interlined with down, into which the hands are slipped. The oid pillow muff Is little seen. MINK COAT ANp MUFF. THE GRACEFUL ART OF BE!NG APPREC!AT!VE ^*^0 one attribute in man or H woman will go ao far in making P for social success as the art of being appreciative. And this does not mean flattery nor gushing ways, but just, at heart, truly appreciating cour tesies however small, and knowing just how to express that appreciation. The world over, men and women, iove to he appreciate#, to have their good poiptp noted, their favors or kindnesses received with thanks, not accepted as a matter of course, and their hospital ity enjoyed. In the great social game there are many persons, alas, both young and old. who accept all enter tainment. all courtesies as if these were due them, simply because they are in the social swim, and in time in tend to return them. The beautiful girl thinks that the world wHl bow to her whether she appreciates it or not. The rich girl knows she can repay social courtesies. And oftimes the homely girl of small purse Is so busy trying to keep up appearances that she fails to remember that graceful apprecia tion will cover a multitude of physical j defects or the fact that her frocks are not quite up to date. I do love to entertain Grace B— ''marked the mistress of a charming country residence." She always be i aves as if she would rather spend a 'veek-end with me than with the King "f England, and her bread and butter notes are delicious. I always read them aloud—my husband is sure to get a iaugh out of them." And Grace B— is simply the appre ciative girl. Good form, etiquette, or whatever you choose to label the hard and fast -ules which govern our sociai iife, is founded upon common-sense and klnd iness. The instant you are foolish or unkind, otherwise ungracious, you are hound to break some ruie of etiquette. -To iack appreciation and the proper method of expressing it, is a breach of good form because it iB both unkind and ungracious. For instance, a western woman made a Hying trip to visit eastern reiatives. Her headquarters were with her fa vorite sister, and she sent announce ments of her arrival to other biood connections. A relative by marriage received one of these Hurried notes and sent in reply a most gracious offer of hospitality. "We want you to stay with us as tong as convenient," she wrote, "we have enlarged the house and there is a lovely guest room* awaiting you, overiooking the Avenue. Let me know your arrangements as soon as possibie so we can adjust our engagement cal endars to give you the best possibie time- You must be sure to see Mr. Grew in his new play, etc After waiting several days, the would-be hostess received the follow ing curt note from the reiative who had certainly courted an invitation:— Hnd t shaii go home sooner than originally pianned- I wilt be over Friday afternoon to eail. Have the children at home—1 want to see them." Not one word of appreciation for the invitation extended, not one word of regret that it could not be accepted, not one thought that perhaps both mother and daughters might have so- j iai engagements for the afternoon as- iccted by the self-centered tourist. Of oourse. you say. she was hurried. True—but there may come a day when ,oe wilt not be In a hurry, when she will want to stay a week or more with :i:e same relatives whose courtesy she treated so cavalierly this time. And then what? Do you Imagine that an other invitation, exuding welcome, will be forthcoming? Another woman who teaches in ont of the country's greatest colleges foi women found that she could secure leave of absence to enjoy part of th€ opera season in New York. She wrott to friends in that city with whom sh€ had not communicated for years, and received in response a gracious invita tion to become their guest. She mad€ her stay one long orgy of opera. She made no effort to adjust herself to the family or social life of her hostess She talked music, read music, and lived music every moment while she was in the home, and then dashed back to he! college work. About two months late! she sent a hasty scrawi to her hostess, apologizing for her tardiness in an nouncing her safe return, "but you know how busy I am." she concluded. A few months later, her hostess wished a little commission executed in the college town, simply a little inves tigation that might have occupied fif teen or twenty minutes of her erst while guest's time. Six weeks after she wrote her a note, asking the favor, she received a postal card:—"Sorry I could not look after that iittle matter for you, but I had an attack of the grip." Do you imagine that the teacher will enjoy the hospitality of this woman's home when she wants another season of grand opera? A charming young couple, noted for their gracious hospitality to young men and women, sent out cards an nouncing the birth of their first-born. A few weeks iater I called on the proud young mother, and among other matter discussed were the dainty cards they had sent out. She said:— "I never knew what a test of cour tesy announcement cards could be. I was amazed at the number of our old friends who never sent us a word of congratulation or the least acknowl edgment of our cards. "We did not expect gifts for Babby kins, but we did expect that girls and men who had sat around our tabic would at least sit up aatd take notice that our baby had come to town." I can see cuts made in her calling and entertaining list, can't you? And she is not vindictive either. What is the use of entertaining men and women who care nothing for you? The world holds plenty of appreciative people. Don't forget that part when you feel too tired to write a bread-and-butter note, or pay a dinner call or drop a few lines of congratulation or condo lence. Remember that the people who will remember you are the ones who know you will be interested in them and their afTalrs. To make starch which will give the much desired French finish to clothes foiiow these rules: To every quarto! boiling wAter, add a piece of soap about the size of a penny, and a piece of paraHin (this comes in large cakes) about the size of an egg.

When a pane! is madq in thin material and attached to tiie back of a gown, it should be !ige&—all the way down— with flannel, a^M tacked to the drop skirt to keep itl in place. These pan el? or pleats start about three inches aboV^t^ye waist line Almost all draped skirts have a bias seam down tmp front. Or, if this is not desired, th m there must be a seam under each ar n, running from the arm pit to the bot om of the skirt. When these under-a m seams are used, the line down the front should be straight. Whalebones} in the waists are not sprung as the)y were. They should be sewed in without stretching the waist underneath. &o not run the bones far below the waist line, as they will show through the dress where they end at the hip line. !n using featherbone, be sure to bendj the bone in toward the figure so tha^; the end does not show. For stout jtgures. use a very large hook and ey(4 on the waist linings. center, then! with two forks scoop or pu)[ the bread out of the crust and. stilt using the t^ro forks, puil it apart in 9 strips six ori seven inches long and an inch or more in width and thickness.

They must be shirred or tucked, but at the arm very snugly— like the old coat sleeve. In broadcloth they are made of the same material, the underarm piece plain, and the top piece shirred just a little. Collars have no points on them. They are quite high, however, finished with a stiff net pleating—not soft chiffon. These pleatlngs are or Inches high. There Is very little outside stitching on gowns this season. Even the heavy broadcloths are hemmed by hand. Nearly all gowns have a touch of black on them—a black outline to the trimmlngs-r-a few buttons—a dash here or there. All imported gowns have a touch of it. Buttons are much used. In covering the wooden molds, if the material Is thin. It is best to cover them first with soft cloth. This prevents the hole in the mold showing through, and makes a softer button. MARY DEAN. 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of water and one-third cake of yeast.

THE MAMNG AND MARR!N6 Of fORMULAS ^—ALTHOUGH all druggists keep A_ which they seli at reasonahte prices, there is a great satisfaction in mixing formulas at home, because you are sure of the ingredients, and it is really dainty work. If directions are followed cioseiy and common sense used in large doses, the resuits will generally be satisfactory, but if in gredients are thrown together care lessly without any regard to assimila tion. the resuits are disastrous. There is undoubtedly a knack in working out formulas at home, just as there are successful cake bakers and those who turn out a pan of heavy sweetened dough. The old col ored mammy who had made beaten bis cuits aii her life, when asked how she made them, said: "Why. I just takes 'em and I makes 'em." but she knew how to take 'em to make 'em success fully Fat of some kind is the basis of ail creams, as this article is needed to feed the pores. Ail creams are trou blesome to make, because they require cayefui mixing and incessant beating. In making ail creams and emuisions, the manner of manipulation is about the same. The fats and the oils must be mixed together and they should be melted, not put over the Hre and boiled. Take for instance the follow ing formula:—Kentucky Cold Cream. Here is a face cream which I can rec ommend thoroughly because it con tains no animal fat to induce a growth of hair on the face. Rose water. 4 ounces: almond oil. 4 ounces; spermaceti, 1 ounce; white wax, I ounce; tincture of benzoin. 1 drachm. Into a douMe hotter put the atmond ott. and add to tt the white wax and spermaceti, which have been chopped fine. Let these meit, but not boii. The water in the lower vessei must just simmer, never boii. Turn them out into a bowi and beat briskly with an egg beater or a fork, scraping down the sides of the bowi constantiy, and keep on beating untii it is ail creamed and absoiuteiy smooth When the mix ture has cooied. add the rose water and the benzoin, drop by drop, beating meanwhile without ceasing unttt the cream is quite coid If the odor of rosewater is not iiked, you can sub stitute itiac or violet water tn its ptace. Oxide of Zinc ointment is perhaps one of the best cure-aiis that couid be found in the family medicine cioset. It can be made at home, but care must be taken in the mixing It is very heating for any sores upon the face or hands, it is exceiient for an itchy scatp and is invaiuabie in cases of scaids and burns. Spermaceti. 1% ounces; white wax, ounce; aimond oii, pint; and suf ficient quantity of oxide of zinc. As in making the Kentucky cream, the oii must be put in double holier.—and the spermaceti and white wax added in finely chopped pieces. When meited they must be beaten in a bowi. untii a per fect assimiiation is procured. Now carefuiiy measure, and to every six parts take one part of oxide of zinc in a Hne powder. Take one-quarter of the ointment and with a wooden paddie or smaii wooden spoon rub the zinc thor oughly into it, then add the remainder of the ointment iittie by iittie untii ail mixed, but stir constantiy untii cold. All creams and pomades shouid be put up in smaii porceiain or giass jars, which can be ciosed tightiy to exclude the air. else they wilt become rancid and unHt for use. Last week I received a tetter from a correspondent saying;, "I have before me your directions for steaming the face, but it is so much trouble—can't i sii in front of the open Hre instead. Won't this open the pores^" in that tetter lies the secret of aii (Caiinres in seeking to better your appearance—it is too much troubie, too much troubte to mix the formates, too much trouble to appty them! in the winter time, the dressing tabie of aii smart women should boast of a good tip salve.

Pour of! the ciear portion, and to the remainder in the bowl beat in the oii of clovea. drop by drop, stir ring or beating constancy for severai minutes. Last week we pubiished a formuia for Herb Tea Lotion with directions to be made !n an iron pot. Already I have a tetter saying T have no iron pot. Won't a porceiain one do as weil?" Not oniy Wili it not do "as weii." but a porceiain pot wiii not do edy for darkening the hair Is as fol lows: Into an iron pot (absolutely "O. other kind will do) put a goodly measure of potato parings, and cover them with cold water. Let them come to a boil slowly, and continue to boil untti soft and mushy. Strain the water through ^eseeciot^aj^j^^ brush, letting the lotion dry on the hairinthesuniight. This wi)i discolor the part in the hair, and cgfe should be taken to scrub the part clean before the iotion dries on. lo making aii col oring matter, wear oid kid gioves or rubber ones, for they wiH stain the hands There are two ways of extracting the juice from cucumbers—an ingredi ent with great naturai whitening Pow ers for the complexion. One way is to select cucumbers ripe enough for tabie use. Cut them and then chop them very Hne. and ftnaiiy pound them to a paste. Fill a cheesecloth jetiy bag with this puip and squeeze out the juice. The second manner is to slice the cu cumbers very thin, skin and aii. and put them in a porceiain stew pttn. Add just a iittle water to them and iet them simmer gentiy for a long time, untii soft and mushy. Strain them first through a hair sieve, and then through a jelly bag To wash chamois gloves, put them on your hands and scrub them cie&n with a mtid soap and warm water. Take them off and rinse. Into the iast rinse water add a liberal tablespoonful of olive oii—that is a tablespoonful to a basin of water. Dry In the shade.
